Drama-packed midterm showdown sees sharp political ad uptick for CTV as voters head to the polls today

This campaign season, political campaigns on both sides of the aisle have been spending more to reach people across CTV devices. And just like with non-political advertisers, the growth has brought big business to the already booming sector.

Additional coverage:

  • Twitter employees have taken to anonymous workplace community platform Blind to express their concerns about the future of the company.
  • Court Avenue is emphasizing content and customer research in its approach to e-commerce, while newly rebranded Icon Commerce creates an incubator program to help fledgling brands.
  • Condé Nast's global chief business officer is bullish on a category vs. brand approach to sales strategy, but the process of getting there has been a process of trial and error.
  • Marketers are seeking quick turnarounds, shortened timelines and even more flexibility this fourth quarter, according to agency execs. More in this Digiday+ Marketing Briefing.
  • Digiday+ Research checked in with publishers to find out where their attitudes fall when it comes to an impending recession. It turns out publishers think a recession is coming, but they expect it to be a shallow one.
  • As investing in BIPOC communities remains top of mind for brands, agency founder Junae Brown serves as a guide.
